    My dear Contessa,
    After reading your post I think you don’t need your jewels – you’ve got your beautiful children grown up to be fine handsome men!
    I guess you are very proud Mum!
    Warm wishes,

    I wish I could be your third son…. or maybe MY son can be your third son. He would SO love to go to PAris with you and your boys.
    Isn’t it great being able to travel with them? Thanks for posting your pictures and comments. It brings me right back to my favorite city in the world!

      Happy Turkey Day to you too…….although, I do not think you eat Turkey!

      No cranberries except the dried version at the grocery store! And yes, I eat turkalurk but this year it was just roasted chicken. An entire turkey is rather too much for just us two.

    Contessa,

    Such handsome sons! The photos are lovely. I enjoyed every one, vicariously savored Paris and Versailles! French fashion must have been tempting as I note a few purchases were made!
    You only live once! Savor the moment!
    Happy Thanksgiving Famille Kirkpatrick!

    Fine specimens you have produces, Contessa! And, I seriously love the turquoise Nike’s, wish I had a pair. Yes, they will remember this forever, as you will. And, what a wonderful photograph you have for the man at home. Sending love….

    What a dream you made happen. This Paris trip.

    Congrats on the boys….into men.

    Wasn’t able to have children. Cannot imagine how it would feel for my cats to leave home and set up housekeeping without me !!

    Garden & Be Well, XO Tara

    This must have been a wonderful trip to Paris with your sons! Great photos. I have two daughters and you now have me dreaming of a trip to Paris with them. We travelled together to the Russian River Valley a couple of years ago for a mother/daughters trip and it was so much fun!
